Scouts of Uzbekistan ‎– The Scouts of Uzbekistan EP (2011)

Comment: one is very
sure – it is not a pop release at all though there can be some restrained
moments juxtaposed against more hirsute and noisy bursts. More profoundly, this
4-track uncanny issue involves stylistically different sections extending from
avant-rock and noise rock torrents to dreamy (neo)folk and hypnagogic spoken
word centred insights. It might be easily these sounds come out of heads of the
personnel of a space lab drifting along millions of miles away from the Earth.
It is deep, it is charming, it is spaced-out, it is… . In spite of incisive
sonic approach the listener can feel somewhat tongue-in-cheek feeling in these
compositions (for instance, using the bluegrass based nexus in one composition).
One of the songs used to depict the hell on its own. EventuallyMark Carolan and Nick d’Uzbekistan produced issue proves very
expressively it is much more worth than most pop albums available right now
around you. In a word, the gem and their record label Year Zero`s discography
is fairly precise to be discovered right now. By kindred souls the can be drawn
parallels upon the likes of The Hirundu, The Residents, Art Abscon(s), Death In
June, for instance.
